1 Monitoring, controlling and recording of vehicle access Monitoring The entries and exits to and from a company area are recorded from video cameras and displayed on a PC screen. The system allows depending on the ressources (PC and network) infinite cameras. Therefore the security staff is able to overview the events at the gates. For detailed information the system allows full resolution of the camera signals. Control The license plates of cars approaching the gate are read automatically and a predefined reaction is started. The decision of reaction is also possible by a connected foreign system. Therefore it is possible for cars in a white list to open a barrier automatically and store the event with image, date, time and license plate on disc. Cars in a black list will generate an alarm. Recording All events at the gates are stored with images in a special database. Therefore the operator is able to display all transactions from the past. Different searching possibilities allow a fast access to the events. It is possible to analyse the database with statistical methods. Schmitz GmbH Prinz-Rupprecht-Str. 1 D Regensburg

Installation position and usage of professional video surveillance cameras 2. Camera recommendations on request A special camera solution installed at a gate The license plate cameras and the optics should be focused in a way to get a maximal resolution and a proper geometry of the plate. An additional overview camera may show the driver of the car.

3 Automatic Scanning of the Plates The main feature of the CAR-READER software is to read automatically the license plates of the cars with methods of image analyses. The system can read almost all countries of Europe. The system achieves a high recognition rate. This result depends on the quality of the license plates or environmental conditions. Possible issues in case of special environmental conditions Elution Dirt, grate Reflexions Not teached foreign plates Not infrared light reflecting plates at night Screws Bended plates Incorrect position of the car Other issues: snow, very strong rain, license plates not fixed in the middle of the car Please note: These issues only arise in exceptional cases. Performance optimization for day and night installations: 1. Infrared light 2. IP Cameras, high sensitive, black/white operation

4 Recording the Entry and Exit Events Event: Storage mode: Fileformat of the images: System configuration: Detection modes: Vehicle approaching to an entry or exit barrier Entries and exit events are stored with the corresponding images on the hard drive Example: Storage capacity of a 100 Gbyte HDD - approx events with one corresponding image with 50 kb The systems works with a ring memory or stops recording after achieving the full capacity of the HDD JPEG It is possible to define when or how an event should be stored 1) Loop 2) Light barrier 3) External TCP/IP notification Presentation of an entry event in the CAR-READER program Evaluation of the data base Searching for events 1. Looking for license plates 2. Using time periods 3. Searching for stations Examples: 1. How often entered / exited a particular car in a pre-defined time period? 2. Who entered / exited at what time? 3. Is a particular car present? Statistics Graphics of time based events allocations 1. License plates 2. Time periods 3. Stations 4. Days of the week 5. Scaling in 5 minutes steps 6. Day/week and year overview

5 Optional Interface to Management Systemes Standalone management system: Seamless integration: Advantages: The CAR-READER handles entries and exits to and from a company area by license plate in spite of ticketing by itself. In companies / institutions often exits an access control system for the staff - CAR-READER offers an interface to connect both systems together. 1) Access to the license plates 2) Access to the images of the entries and exits 3) Automatically opening of barriers 4) Automatically setting of alarms 5) Enhanced searching possibilities Example: Communication with the customers administration program / database: Step 1: Definition of a common protocol and the process Step 2: Communication with the foreign database Step 3: Access is realized by SQL (other methods on request) Step 4: TCP/IP and RS232 are additional options Example - Siemens, Germany: Case story: In the image above you can see a screen of an application showing the installation of the CAR-READER program on a PC of the Siemens factory security office. The applications are seamless integrated and communicate by SQL data base. The challenge: Developing an interface between both systems Due to the fact of a long experience in developing interfaces, Schmitz GmbH can offer a proper solution for different systems.

6 Software functions License plate recognition The system reads one or twolined plates from Europe. We can t guarantee a reading result of 100 percent. This depends on conditions shown above. Live images of the camera signals The system is able to show all video sources at the same time. The number and performance is depending of the hardware, PC and network. Archieving of events In spite of a conventional video recorder the live images are not stored continuously but always when an event is triggered Create a license plate list For an automatically check of the cars a personalized list is created and the system reaction is defined. Create a blacklist The cars which should provocate an alarm are stored in a separate black list. Group administration Several cars can be combined to a group and a number of spaces is assignable. In addition to it profiles are possible for access control. Journal list Entries of the event database can be filtered, displayed and are exportable. User administration The program functions are saved by pass words. You can allocate different program functions for every user by pass word. Archieving of system events All system problems and transactions of the registrated operators are stored in a list for control reasons. Display messages For drivers of special cars the system allows to send free defined messages to station displays. Interface to other systems Optionally the CAR-READER system allows communication with third party systems. Integrated ticket system Optionally the CAR-READER system allows the integration of a ticket system based on transponders. The vehicle access is then possible by license plate or ticket.
